Art Mashup

https://vimeo.com/324074043

The clips I chose for this week's assignment were specifically selected to depict a certain storyline. I wanted to glorify the ugly side of love. The mashup shifts back and forth between love scenes and violent scenes. Not to say that love is “violent” but more to depict that love is painful. Some of the clips also depict betrayal and denial of affection between lovers. At the end of the short film I have two men traveling on a marry-go-round, (without women) to show that love is a never ending cycle. My very last clip of the mashup was a woman afraid and trying to escape her surroundings. This shows that the woman is afraid of the ugly side of love but cannot escape it. While editing the clips I had to trim, cut, slow down, and speed them up in order to fit perfectly into the songs transitions. I believe I was successful my timing between love scenes and violent scenes could have been time a little better but I could drive myself crazy attempting to perfect the song and timing of the beat switch along with the scene transitions. If I could change one thing about my mashup it would be to have more scenes cut up shorter so I could have a better variety of clips. The most difficult part of this assignment was to figure out what direction I wanted to go with the mashup. I wanted the mashup to be corky but also make sense have a some type of story line. While doing this project I learned how to navigate both soundation and windows movie maker. I also developed a sense of storytelling. I tried multiple storylines and ultimately ended up sticking with my favorite one. This was easily my favorite assignment so far in the class. I will more than likely make another one just for fun with a different song.

Young Thug Stops Fashion Show

This is a design I have been working on for a collective of graphic posters I plan to start. I plan on creating various poster graphics and ideas to sell in mass. This edit is a collaboration of two seperate pictures of rapper Young Thug from the same scene. Young Thug is both a rapper and fashion designer; he is well respected in the fashion world. In the shots Jeffery is seen at the VFILES Season 7 fashion show stopping a model on the runway. He calmly leaves his seat, enters the runway and fixes the models collar; he then retakes his seat. For me this was an unforgettable moment in fashion. This was not a planned incident. Jeffery was called on to mentor the designers for the VFILES show along with a list of well known fashion figures. During show he saw something with one of the pieces that he wanted to correct last minute. You can tell from the look on the models face that he was not expecting to be stopped by Jeffery.   Video of Young Thug stopping t...

Poster Collective On The Way

  I’ve started editing pictures and creating graphics for a collection of posters and clothing I plan on selling. I’m starting off with only posters in hopes that my clientele increases. The idea of the collective is to sell urban style creations based on fashion, music, and film. The poster will features famous artists from this field with rare photos of them that you wouldn’t be able to find just on google. I found a lot of these photos on tumblr and other blog sources. I edited the original photos in order to avoid copyright issues when I decide to mass produce and sell. These are a few of the edits I’ve created to far for the collection.

Jorja Smith: Dirty Laundry

This is a design that I came up with for a clothing brand named Dirty Laundry . Dirty Laundry is a collective based of of New York City. They are a relatively new brand/collective. For this design I used a picture of one my favorite new R&B artist named Jorja Smith. I used an online application called Afterlight. Along with the picture or Jorja I used two separate pictures of the inside of a laundromat. I used an effect called overlay to place the pictures on top of each other to make them blend in. Making this graphic come to life was not as easy as it looked. I had to use many different adjustments to make the photos blend well together. The effect makes one of the pictures a bit transparent so that the picture in the back can bleed through just enough for you to see the multiple layers constructively.
